The nanometal threads formed by countless spirit magnets were like an extension of Meng Chao’s neural network. They invaded the super crystal bomb’s core unit and performed precise operations on the molecular level.
This battle without smoke was even more shocking than any bloody battle Meng Chao had ever experienced.
In the end, before the blood vessels that covered his eyes completely broke, Meng Chao found a metal ball that was not much bigger than an egg in the deepest part of the crystal bomb’s core unit.
He discovered gaps on the apparently seamless metal ball, indicating where it had been connected and nested.
He used countless nano metal threads to carefully attach to the two sides of the metal ball. Then, he used a force that was even gentler than velvet to slowly open it up. The super crystal bomb’s detonator was completely exposed before Meng Chao’s eyes.
However, the detonation system that was a hundred times more precise than an antique clock made Meng Chao gasp.
‘Is there a mistake?
‘How is this a crystal bomb? It’s simply a rare piece of art!
‘The guy who designed and manufactured this crystal bomb is not only a lunatic but also an artist with obsessive-compulsive disorder!’
The frost, electric arcs, and flames that surrounded the detonation system were reflected in the depths of Meng Chao’s eyes.
The crystal bomb’s designer had stuffed quite a few crystal shards that contained violent spirit energy into the narrow space inside the detonator, which was packed to the brim.
However, he intentionally cut a few gaps in the crystal pieces and controlled the gaps with tiny runes, so that the violent spirit energy inside the crystal flowed out slowly like a stream.
Spirit energy of different natures was flowing, jumping, colliding, and tangling inside the detonator in the form of frost, fire, and electric arcs. Despite that, the dynamic balance was maintained magically without triggering the chain reaction in advance.
Even with Meng Chao’s experience and vision, he had never seen such a crazy and exquisite crystal bomb.
“I understand now.”
After studying the detonator carefully, Meng Chao ran through his thoughts and came to a conclusion.’The super crystal bomb has been made so complicated to prevent it from being cracked by brute force for one. In addition, it ensures that all the pieces of the bomb that can be traced back to the designer and creator will be blown into smithereens after the bomb is detonated. Even the metal and crystal powder will be vaporized in an instant. There will be no evidence left behind.
‘No wonder there hasn’t been any progress in the investigation of The Bright Light’s explosion. The large number of crystal bomb fragments left on the scene are all fake. If we start with the fake fragments, we’ll only be led by the nose and waste our manpower, resources, and time.
‘If the crystal bomb that detonated The Bright Light and the super crystal bomb before me are designed by the same designer, everything will make sense. This person is definitely an expert among experts!’
Meng Chao was not a bomb expert.
He had only mastered an extremely delicate technique by harvesting monster materials, and he also had the help of the ever-changing spirit magnet.
Even so, Meng Chao had no other choice. He could only brace himself and challenge the masterpiece that a super crystal bomb expert had spent his entire life creating!
‘If I want to dismantle the detonator, I must first destroy this miniature rune array made up of seven crystal shards.
‘The seven crystal pieces that make up the tiny rune array, on the other hand, are continuously releasing spirit energy of different properties, maintaining the dynamic balance between sensitivity and fragility.
‘Removing any of the crystal pieces will break the balance and activate the super crystal bomb in advance.
‘In other words, I have to pull out all seven crystal shards at the same time. It can’t be one millisecond apart, and I can’t touch anything around me.
‘Before that, I will have to build a brand-new spirit energy circuit around the detonation system with liquid metal and input the same amount of spirit energy so that the detonation system will think that everything is normal and that the seven crystal pieces are still functioning.’
Meng Chao closed his eyes and imagined himself sinking into the deep cold sea.
He used the extremely low temperature in his mind to cool down his nerve endings, which were burning hot from the overload.
When he opened his eyes again, they were pitch-black, like the deep night sky that could absorb all light.
His hands seemed to be absolutely still above the super crystal bomb.
The thousands of nanometal threads that were wrapped around his fingers were like the strings of a musician’s zither, giving off subtle vibrations.
The high-frequency vibrations that were happening thousands or even tens of thousands of times per second did not produce any sound. Instead, it stirred up a silent storm within the detonation system.
The entire process only lasted 0.1 seconds, but Meng Chao looked as if he had just gone through a major surgery that lasted for ten hours.
His entire body became fatigued and haggard at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
However, he had already pulled out the seven crystal fragments of different colors and shapes with the nanometal threads.
The seven crystal pieces were dancing above the super crystal bomb like seven little sprites, emitting splendid brilliance.
Looking at their crystal-clear appearance, it was impossible to tell that the seven tiny fragments were enough to determine the life and death of several thousand innocent people on the Golden Roc and even the fate of the entire Dragon City.
Meng Chao’s nerves were so tense that they were about to break, but he did not relax.
He stared at the detonation system and felt so nervous that his tongue was a little bitter.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
The detonation system and the entire super crystal bomb remained unchanged.
It seemed like he had succeeded.
He had fooled Yun Feidian for the time being and defeated the crazy artist who had designed the super crystal bomb.
Meng Chao let out a slight sigh of relief. He swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva with great difficulty to slightly soothe his throat, which was about to burn.
Then, he re-condensed hundreds of nanometal wires into a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing, as well as a tool with irregular edges. He was now ready for the final dismantling.
However, just as he inserted the blade into the detonation system, a shocking change occurred!
There was nothing in front of him.
Even the perception of the immortal state did not detect any signs of spirit and magnetic disturbance.
Even so, the blade made of spirit magnets burst with a pop as if it had burst an invisible soap bubble.
The “soap bubble” that enshrouded the detonation system popped as loudly as a mosquito flapping its wings.
Yet, when it reached Meng Chao’s ears, it was like a series of thunderbolts striking his cerebral cortex.
Meng Chao’s pupils shrank to the size of two needles, and he realized that things were not good.
As he expected, while the invisible soap bubbles burst, hundreds of high-frequency sparks erupted from the detonation system that had been calm just a moment ago!
